On The Back Of The Devil

Disillusioned by my kindness
Being thrown in the dirt
Repetitive, time and time again
My body, mind and soul, hurt

I got up one night, couldn't sleep
So in my garden I just quietly stood
Enough of all this crap and pain
No more I said, no more being good

It is under the moon that night
That the devil revealed himself
I made my pact beneath the stars
He spoke of good times and wealth

My pained mind ignored the pleas
Of the angels whispering in my ear
I wanted to be a somebody at last
To ride upon the devils back, I did volunteer

I closed my eyes as the darkness
Took over, all within me that's good
It felt so very seductive and powerful
I never questioned if I should?

My time here on earth is ending
No more can I ride on the devils back
His diseased darkness has turned on me
His evil has now begun to attack

My tears are pointless and futile
For no good is left within me now
I want to die quickly, say goodbye
But I don't think he will allow

He wants me to suffer and scream
Shout and call his evil name
All the time I'm able to think for myself
He literally can go to hell as I'm not game

I know there is no light for me
My angels left me long ago
For I chose not to listen to them
My soul went to depths so very low

I see the stars in the night sky
As I feel the passing on my breath
I shall keep watching them
As I am greeted by the hand of death
